Steven v. Commonwealth

Facts:

The appellate court held that the blood alcohol level indicated in a PBT was conditionally relevant, subject to being augmented by evidence tending to show that the driver was driving in an intoxicated condition so as to endanger the life, limb or property of others in Fairfax. No evidence established the significance of a PBT of 0.04 or whether a person driving with a 0.04 level might be intoxicated as evidence of reckless driving. The test result, alone, was inadmissible. The error was not harmless. The evidence of defendant's reckless driving was not overwhelming. The trooper acknowledged that he did not charge defendant with driving under the influence (DUI), but the Commonwealth emphasized defendant's consumption of alcohol. The jury could well have concluded that defendant, while not guilty of DUI, was driving recklessly because she had 0.04 alcohol in her system. If the Commonwealth sought to admit the PBT result on retrial, it had to show that a.04 result indicated that defendant was intoxicated such that her driving was dangerous to life, limb, or property of another, and defendant was entitled to an instruction on the statutory presumptions of blood alcohol concentration.
